I recently purchased a partbuilt Hachette Titanic. i stripped it back as far as i could and began a rebuild. I am going to use the Minibrass etched replacement walls instead of the horrible card ones supplied. Here is progress to date.

So here is the next update. I received the A Deck brass etch last week and this was sprayed and left to dry over the weekend. All the window frames were then scraped to reveal the brass beneath. i left most of the wooden structure in place and painted it black so it would appear to be looking inside a darkened room. Once the A Deck walls were complete, I added the Boat Deck and began some of the structures on there, beginning with the Officers quarters and Gymnasium walls. I painted the parts of these that would be visible through the etches black also. I added the front Bridge Bulwark as well. Next is the Wheelhouse to Gymnasium Etch, which should hopefully be here in a week or 2.

There was a build of this on the old 'DryDock Models site by a guy called 'Paul' (if I remember correctly) who worked on a smallholding in the south of England, but I've not seen him on any sites subsequently.That was quite a while ago so does that mean the instalments are complete?

Yes, I believe I bought my original last issue about 7-8 years ago now. This is the 3rd I've built. The first got smashed during a house move. I was devastated as it was the first ever model I had made. The 2nd is going to become a sinking diorama.
